Organiser Claire Young said in a press release, "With so many in-person concerts and experiences being canceled, we wanted to help people connect over their shared love of the '80s, and usher in a new year with this ultimate throwback to one of the best decades. Whether you're still rocking a perm, or just someone who loves good music and live entertainment, we guarantee there will be something for everyone at this event."

Passes for the event start at $99.80 (£72.85), and are available here: ticketspice.com.

Musicians turned to online gig as many live music events were either canceled or pushed back amid pandemic.

Organizers for Glastonbury were forced to call off the music festival last year and again this year. Originally planned to be headlined by Sir Paul McCartney, Taylor Swift, and Kendrick Lamar, it was supposed to be a celebration of the event's 50th anniversary.

Now a smaller event is in the works.

Other major festivals in the U.K., such as the Isle of Wight Festival and Download Festival are still pushing ahead with their preparations in the hope of staging their events this year.

Meanwhile, in the U.S., two of the biggest music events Coachella and Lollapalooza were also called off last year.
